OX Security vs StepSecurity

OX Security is an application security platform that covers software from code through runtime, including protection in AI editors and IDEs. OX Code addresses SAST, software composition analysis, secrets and PII, SBOM, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, Git posture, containers, malicious dependencies and API discovery. OX Cloud includes runtime security, cloud posture tools, inventory and attack-path mapping; OX VibeSec applies organization-specific context to AI coding tools. OX Agentic Pentester performs AI-driven penetration testing, API assessments and proof-of-concept exploitation, with OWASP mapping. The platform lists more than 150 integrations, including GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Jira, Slack and ChatGPT. It supports hybrid deployment and lists on-premises options, SSO, automatic provisioning, MCP and API support. OX says it connects to existing tools without agents or complex setup. Pricing is available on request, based on active developers who committed code in connected source control in the past 90 days or are expected to contribute during the licensing period. The IDE extension supports Visual Studio Code and compatible environments such as Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium.

StepSecurity is a software supply chain security platform spanning developer environments, code repositories, and CI/CD pipelines. Harden-Runner uses eBPF to monitor network calls, file writes, and process executions, then relates activity to workflow steps. Dev Machine Guard inventories AI coding agents, MCP servers, IDE extensions, and local packages on developer machines. Secure Registry provides package cooldowns, blocks compromised versions, and offers typosquat protection and blocklists. Code Repo Security screens pull requests and can open remediation pull requests according to policies. Security alerts can go to email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Dev Machine Guard can be deployed without an agent through Intune, SCCM, or Jamf on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The Community plan is free for unlimited public repositories and lists GitHub-hosted runners on GitHub Cloud; private repositories are included in the 14-day trial. Dev Machine Guard costs $8 a month per device, while Enterprise costs $16 a month per contributing developer. The Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 compliance.
